Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 28, 1918.

Application filed September 18, 1914. Serial No. 862,331.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANCIS nu SALES Lnn'rtrsoi-iwacnn, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Tucson, in the county of Pima and State of Arizona, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Garment-Supports, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to garment supports and more particularly to that class of garment supports intended to be fastened to the waist band of trousers and engage the eyelet or button hole of suspenders.

The objects of the invention are:

To provide a support formed from one piece of metal wire;

To provide a support which may be easily attached to, or removed from the garment;

To provide a support which will be simple and cheap of manufacture, and easy and eflicient in operation.

With these and such other objects in view as may hereinafter more fully appear, my invention consists in the novel arrangement and construction of parts set forth in the following specification, more particularly pointed out in the claim, and which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a front elevation of the device wire bent to provide a rectangular portion 1 having a shank 2 terminating in the outwardly disposed arms 3.

The outer ends of arms 3 are bent to provide the keepers 4, rear bars 5 of the pins, and the pins 6.

As will be readily understood, the pins 6 are inserted into the material. of the trousers and the points thereof snapped into the keepers 4. The rectangular portion 1 is then inserted through the button hole of the suspenders so that the shank 2 is engaged, as shown mostclearly in Fig. 1.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A garment support formed of a single piece of wire bent to form a depending shank, a cross bar at the lower end of the.

shank, oppositely disposed, laterally extending portions at the upper end of the shank, a downwardly bent portion at the outer end of each laterally extending portion eXtend ing substantially parallel to the shank, a keeper formed on each downwardly bent portion, and the end of each downwardly bent portion bent to form a pin the end of which is adapted to be engaged by the keeper.

In testimony whereof I hereunto aliix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
